The decision
BackgroundThe appeal of J.T., Police Officer, Trenton, Police Department, removal, effective April 15, 2020, on charges, was heard by Administrative Law Judge Judith Lieberman (ALJ), who rendered her initial decision on May 25, 2023. No exceptions were filed.
AnalysisHaving considered the record and the ALJ's initial decision, and having made an independent evaluation of the record, the Civil Service Commission, at its meeting on June 28, 2023, adopted the ALJ's Findings of Facts and Conclusions and her recommendation to uphold the removal.
ORDER
The Civil Service Commission finds that the action of the appointing authority in removing the appellant was justified. The Commission therefore upholds that action and dismisses the appeals of J.T.
ClosingThis is the final administrative determination in this matter. Any further review should be pursued in a judicial forum.
